l. singular, when men like Capt. Todhunte
bring into Lafayette county royalty bre
horses and cattle that so little interest fl
them is taken bv the general public. It 1

felt In Missouri, out Lafayette COUNTY seem
TO be even behind other counties In this state
Why is it: Is 1t because our land is SO fertil
r that we prefer plain farmingP How FOOLS
and short-sighted Is this policy, when witt
= our splendid blue grass, good water, and uu
surpassed grain fields. we could SO easil
supplement the farm with a few head of tn
T. very best bred animals, which could come ii
as profits, and really could often bring ii
more ready money than all the farm product
together. But to do this there must be n,
halfway breeding. 1t must be of the best
SO that people abroad may know where t
look for what they want.
